Good morning all, I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas with this.

I found a house that could be a decent flip (from the outside at least). It looks like it has been abandoned for years so I found the persons name who has been paying the taxes, then I found out they passed away 6 years ago.

I'm not sure where to go with it now, some other homes I have run into like this are either in a trust or have been transferred to heirs but there seems to be nothing going on. I'm not sure who to contact, does anyone have recommendations on what could be a good next step?
